Story

The history of the united university and the universities included in it is directly related to the industrial and economic development of the Samara region as one of the leading aerospace centers in the world.

History of KuAI - SSAU

The Aviation Institute, which became the core of the current Samara University, opened in Samara (then Kuibyshev) in October 1942. By that time, about 30 enterprises and organizations of the aviation industry had been evacuated to the city. Serial production of the Il-2 attack aircraft was launched here, which became the most massive combat aircraft in the history of aviation. Of the total number of IL-2s (36,183 units), 74% were produced by aircraft factories in Kuibyshev (26,888 units). The Kuibyshev Aviation Institute (KuAI) has become the base for the training of engineering personnel for these enterprises.

In the postwar years, KuAI began to develop research work related to the production the latest samples aviation technology, including the first jet fighters and bombers, as well as engines for them. The scientific developments of the scientists of the institute were used in the design and production of the Tu-144, Tu-154, Il-76, Il-86, Il-114 aircraft, etc.

Since 1957, KuAI has been training specialists in rocket and space technology. Scientists, specialists and graduates of the institute took part in the development and development of the production of the first domestic intercontinental ballistic missiles R-7, R-7A, R-9; launch vehicles Vostok, Molniya, Soyuz; rocket and space complex for a manned flight to the Moon, as well as the Energiya-Buran aerospace system. They created spacecraft for various purposes, including for systems of national control of the earth's surface, developed programs for the MIR orbital complex, participated in many other, including international, projects.

In the late 1950s, KuAI initiated the creation of branch research laboratories, which served as a powerful impetus for the development of university science. Well-known scientists and production workers were involved in the work at the institute. Among them are the general designer of aircraft and rocket engines Nikolai Kuznetsov and the Soviet and Russian designer of rocket and space technology Dmitry Kozlov.

On February 22, 1966, the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute was named after Academician S.P. Korolev.

In 1967, the Kuibyshev Aviation Institute was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor.

Story

Kuibyshev Aviation Institute ( KuAI) was formed in accordance with the order of the All-Union Committee for Higher Education under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR to provide the military industry with aircraft designers in 1942 as part of the faculties evacuated during the Great Patriotic War. The tradition of naming faculties first of all by numbers came from there. The first classes within the walls of the new institute began in October 1942. From the moment of its creation until November 1942, the institute was headed by Professor A. M. Soyfer.

Russia, Kuibyshev, KuAI, 1942

After the departure of Professor V.P. Lukachev in 1988, the future academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Vladimir Pavlovich Shorin became the new rector of KuAI, but already in 1990 he was replaced by the current rector of the SSAU Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Viktor Aleksandrovich Soifer. On December 25, 1991, the city of Kuibyshev was renamed Samara, as in its historical name, in connection with which the institute itself was renamed. It was named the Samara Aviation Institute, but already on September 23, 1992, it received the status of a university and has since had its current name.

Graduates of SSAU are considered to be the most diversified and ready for managerial work, which is confirmed by the fact that the leadership of Samara and the region has more than 80% of graduates of this university. [ source not specified 416 days]

Administrative structures

Like many other universities, SSAU is directly controlled by the rector and his assistants in certain areas - vice-rectors, who together make up the highest governing body - the rector's office. At the same time, all the most important issues related to the strategy for the further development of the university are decided by an elected representative body - the Academic Council.

Relations between all employees and students of SSAU are regulated by the Charter of SSAU. According to the charter, the supreme governing body of the university is the University Conference. This is a general university meeting, designed to resolve only the most important issues that arise before SSAU. In fact, the conference rarely meets and only in cases of extreme necessity. In fact, the management of the university is carried out by the rector's office and the academic council.

Competitions are designed to increase the desire for learning among students and to scientific activity among university teachers.

Results of scientific activity

The scientific activity of SSAU has very good results. Only in the period from 123 candidates of sciences and 34 doctors of sciences were trained. During this period, university students received 97 awards in the All-Russian open competition for the best student research work. During these 5 years, university staff received 163 patents, of which 21 patents were obtained jointly with students; 36 scientific conferences were held, including 11 all-Russian and 9 international ones. The volume of scientific work carried out with the help of the research department of the university in 2004 amounted to 67.1 million rubles.

Public organizations

There are the following public organizations in SSAU: - trade union organization of students, - trade union organization of employees, - "Veteran of SSAU", - Board of Trustees of SSAU.

Leisure and entertainment

SSAU cares not only about education and scientific training students, but also about the organization of their leisure. Plans for such an organization are usually developed by university staff, although they are often student initiatives. At SSAU, on the basis of the provisions of the rector, various student clubs operate, such as the ASIS IT club or the intellectual games club, which provide students with a lot of alternative ways spending your free time according to your own preferences.

The university trains several sports teams in different sports. They regularly successfully participate in various competitions, for example, in interuniversity sports days.
